fiscal_overlay | add | irrrb_taconite_production_tax_pilot_and_grant_programs | Cities and townships in the Taconite Assistance Area (most of St. Louis, Itasca, Aitkin, Cook, Lake, Crow Wing counties) participate in IRRRB grant/loan programs funded by the taconite production tax in lieu of property tax under § 298.225 et seq. Zoning entitlements are unchanged — IRRRB is a fiscal/economic-development overlay. |

Research notes
Fiscal overlay — does not alter zoning. Captured as a city-record flag because IRRRB participation materially shapes capital-stack feasibility for adaptive reuse, workforce housing, and tourism / mining-legacy infrastructure in Hibbing, Virginia, Eveleth, Chisholm, Mountain Iron, Aurora, Babbitt, Ely, Grand Marais, and other Range communities.
